Treat All Alike,

The MORNING NEWS published a day or
two ago a bill which had been introduced
into the Legislature to authorize the ap-
pointment of assessors for this county In
some respects the bill could be improved
The compensation provided for the assessors
is too great, and there ought to be some linn
itation to the time which they can devote
to their work Under the bill they can
take as many days as they please to dis
charge their duties, and in that way impose
quite heavy burden upon the county. 1t
would also seem that as they are to be county
assessors. and to be paid by the county, the
County Commissioners rather than the City
Council should have the selecting of them.
The main objection to the bill, however, is
this: Chatham county should not be more
closely assessed than other counties of the
State. The MORNING News has persistently
advocated law for the whole State that
would equalze assessments, and insure the
assessment of all property subject to taxa
ton, but the MORNING NEWS does not favor
law that will make Chatham county pay
more than her fair share of the taxes.
Let us have law that will secure a fair
and equal assessment for the whole State
If the Legislature will pass such a law it
will do something that will be of more real
benefit to the people than anything else it
can do. In some parts of the State the as
sessment is low, and in others it is high.
Some taxpayers make an honest return of
their property and others do not. What is
wanted is law that will place all taxpayers
upon an equal footing. Is it not possible to
get such law passed!

One Woman's Work.

A paragraph in the MORNING News a
few days ago concerning a young lady in
! Columbus who, having lost her father, is
! successfully conducting the business he left,
| attracted the attention of a gentleman re
siding in Macon. He writes an interesting
/ letter about some successful business women
he knows, and calls special attention to one
whom he says is known in all parts of the
| State.
1t seems that in Middle Georgia county
number Of years ago struggling manu-
facturer died, leaving widow and several
children. The lady had not been trained to
business, and was totally unacquainted
with the peculiar occupation of
her husband She determined, however,
to assume the management of the manufac-
tory and to operate it without seeking aid
| other than that Of her legal adviser. She
at once made herself familiar with the pc
cuniary details of her business, and then
took steps to improve the plant of the man
ufactory. She chose her superintendent
and employees with consummate skill, and
soon the machinery was humming as cheer
fully as when her husband was alive. She
economizing where necessary. She adver-
tised the products of her mandatory in
every Southern State, and the result was
soon apparent Orders were received as
rapidly as they could be filled Her plan
was to send out none but first class work,
SO that when she gained a customer she re-
tanned him. She is now the pOssessor OF
quite handsome fortune, to which her
business permits her to make increasingly
large additions.
The MORNING NEWS correspondent says
of this lady's domestic life: Her home is
one of the most delightful | ever visited. 1t
is not extravagantly furnished, but cannot
imagine place more thoroughly comfort
able. There are several children. The
oldest, a daughter has been educated in the
best schools. and is a sweet and sensible girl.
The younger children are all in school. The
sons are bright and manifest decided inter
est in their mothers business. 1t is her
intention that they shall take charge
of the mandatory as soon as
they are prepared to do so. I never
knew a better tempered woman. asked
her if worrying over business did not some
times irritate her to the point of anger She
replied: 4 do not worry over my business.
1t is a source of pleasure to me. | believe
that there would be more happiness among
women if more of them were as busy as
am"
The story points more than one moral.
1t shows that where there is will there is
a way, and that women are much more
capable of managing business affairs than
they are generally thought to be. Every
year they are entering avenues for earning
living which were before practically closed
to them. Every advance they make opens
the way for further advance. They don't
get the same pay that men do for the same
work, but the time is not distant when they
will

In the Hammock.

In the hammock idly swinging
Meath the cool, outrageous trees;
Fitting wild birds round me singing,
Famed by every passing breeze,
would lie and dream away
This long, golden summer day.
Ger the bay proud ships are sailing,
Drifting out toward the sea,
Where the fierce, wild waves are wailing,
And the pillows bounding free!
Swelling onward, evermore,
To distant, foreign shore!
But as go swinging, swinging
Thro' the perfumed ladend air,
And the songs of birds are singing
BreeZes blowing thro' my hair
care not for swelling waves
Nor for shores that ocean laveS.
Here l read, and dream, and tarry
Till the golden sun sinks low;
And the twilight, like fairy,
Fits where tangled daisies grow,
Lighting up with pink and gold
Placid bay and mountains bold.
Faint the distant church bell ringeth,
And its echo dies away
Where the robin-red- breast singeth
His sweet song at close of day.
Still linger till the light
Pales and vanisheS in night
Fen till heavens lamps are lighted
And the tickle, round faced moon
Hath its beams with stars united
In the gloom of twilight's swoon,
would thus swing to an fro,
In the evenings heaven-lit glow!

A Small Subject.

From the Boston Herald (Tnd)
Gen. futile says: THE South hates the
North: 1t may be that futile does not con
sclousy lie in this statement to the extent that
appears on the surface. futile may regard
himself as the embodiment of the North He is
Just ass and egotist enough to do it. Very likely
the South does hate futile. The only doubt
upon the point is as to whether futile is of suf-
1cient Importance to he hated We believe
there is Scripture authority for the statement
that men do well to be angry at times. There is
certainly good ground to rage against meanness.

The New York Times prints an interest
ing bit of news from Salt Lake City. 1t
seems that there has been remarkable in
crease in the anti-Mormon vote which
astonishes, if it does not alarm, the Nor
mons. The first election since the new
registration under the Edmunds-Tucker
Jaw, being an election for school trustees,
occurred this week and the Gentiles
carried five of the twenty one
districts. The result was entirely I'M
expected by the Mormons, who confidently
looked for continuance of the old order of
things when they carried everything. The
small Mormon vote is accounted for
by the disfranchisement Of women and the
refusal of so many TO take the oath promis-
ing not TO violate the law in regard to
bigamy and polygamy. The Gentiles are
iubiant over the outcome of the school cleo
tions. and the Mormons are correspondence
downcast The latter fear that if this sort
of thing continues the Gentiles will soon
solve the problem of political supremacy
without the aid of legislation.

A few days ago some of the ladies of
Rome, Ga, held meeting and petitioned
the City Council to adopt an ordinance pro-

At the same meeting the ladies determined
to petition the General Assembly to prohibit
the circulation of indecent pictures by the
manufacturers of cigarettes. Perhaps it
would be going too far TO prohibit the sell
ing of cigarettes to youths, but there is no
doubt that the circulation of indecent
pictures should be prevented. Georgia, in
common with other States, has been flooded
with such pictures by the manufacturers of
cigarettes.
